How to Apply

Before you decide to apply, consider the following:

Do you have any other commitments the week of March 12-19, 2016 (family events, athletic team commitments, potential RA training)? Participants will be expected to be available for the duration of the Spring Break trip in order to be selected. Once selected for a trip, participants will need to turn in required contractual paperwork and a financial contribution in order to confirm their spot on an ASB team. If you accept and are unable to participate, you will be responsible for any unrecoverable costs for the trip. Please contact Amy Bibbens if you have any questions about availability.

What is your trip preference? You will be able to rank the three trips in order of your preference, recognizing however, that you may not get your first choice. More information is available on the 2016 Trip Location page.

The Alternative Spring Break Application is available here. Submit the online form by Monday, January 25.

A $50 deposit is due at the time of application, which will be applied towards the total trip cost if you are selected to attend. Deposits should be submitted to Shayla Chalker in DOS/Heggblade. Cash or checks made out to Claremont McKenna College will be accepted, and you will receive a receipt for the deposit. If you are not selected to participate in an ASB trip, your deposit will be returned to you. Scholarships are available. If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, please email Amy Bibbens.

All currently enrolled CMC students, undergraduate and graduate, are welcome to apply. However, this program is only open to students in residence in Claremont for the Spring semester. Applications are subject to review by the Office of the Dean of Students, in addition to the ASB committee composed of staff and faculty.
